Russia simulated attack on Poland

Recent Russian troop exercises simulated an attack on Poland and the suppression of an uprising by the Polish minority in Belarus, claims Wprost magazine.

Wprost writes that it has seen documents which show that troop exercises near Poland’s border in September portrayed Poland as "a potential aggressor."

The magazine also claims that 30,000 Russian troops practiced not only defensive manoeuvres: they also rehearsed landings on the beaches of Kaliningrad - a Russian controlled corridor linking it with the Baltic Sea - which was used to simulate Poland’s northern coast.
Russian aircraft also practiced the use of nuclear weapons in the attacks, says the magazine.

Law and Justice MP Karol Karski is to table parliamentary questions on Russia’s war games and has protested to the European Commission.

Another Law and Justice MP, Marek Opiola, told the TVN 24 news station that: “Do not forget that this happened on the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland by Soviet troops.”

Editor of the monthly Raport magazine, Tomasz Hypki, said, however: “There is nothing unusual in this. The Russians were simply testing equipment. The Americans do the same.”

I intentionally waited a few days – would anybody speak out?

Nope. All is quiet…

Impudence is bliss.

“The methods of our security services differ in a good way from the methods used by United States security services,” Putin told Larry King. “Thank God… the officers of our intelligence services and other security services are not noted as having been involved in the organization of secret prisons, kidnappings, or the use of torture.”

They were noticed, naturally, and more than once.
